Great pics. I love the look of those birds.
In one of the pics, it's not to far a stretch to imagnine back to when that bird might have had hands or claws at the end of the front wing line.

I can't stand blue herons, they eat way too many frogs and fish to suit me.

What about the last picture? You know... the one where it seems to be snowing feathers just after he exploded. Ba Ba Boom! Just kidding!

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Theo's second pic looks to have an outstanding RW...but more along the less tasty mudcat/carp line.

I agree Eastland. The effort of filleting the catch in the second photo is almost not worth the meat.

I think they stick feathers on the reconstructions of all the new species discovered now; it's the fad.

I have proof. This tiny feathered velociraptor tries to carry me off when I go down to the pond. I'm lucky there's only one. Those are really cool pictures by the way.

Well it all started about two weeks ago, when the goat lady went of to a goat happening. It fell to me to travel every day down to where the wild things are, to collect raptor fruit and goat milk. There have been raptors here since the goat lady brought them home, not suspecting their true nature, and thinking them pleasant creatures who would contribute to the farm. One particular evening I went to check on things and this one particular young raptor decided to leave it’s siblings, and stalk me through the tall grass. I could hear it rustling behind me as I quickly did my chores hoping to escape to safety. As I bent over to fill a water bucket, it took the opportunity to pounce on my shoulder, plucking out individual hairs in an attempt to take me down. I managed to wrest it from my shoulder, and put it back on the ground. Unrelenting, the fiend followed me, and attempted to trip me, no doubt trying to once again take me to the ground. I managed to escape back up the hill but the tiny raptor followed me up to the house. It now lives on the back porch, where it has dominion over our two dogs. It sits and waits for me to come out, waiting for that moment when he can finish his nefarious plan.
